What’s better than a hearty batch of warm chili for a big game? We can’t think of anything better, and we’re loving our newest version made with ground beef, and a few secret ingredients that round it all out.

This winter were starting on new series on thecoastaltable.com all about family meals. The recipes are easy, and meant to be served family-style at the table, casual, for all to enjoy. We hope you’ll give them all a try. Look for a new recipe each Friday through March. If you have any of your own favorites, email us or share them @thecoastaltable on Instagram and tag us. We’ll feature our favorites throughout the season.

When the temperatures start to drop, there’s no better time for a big batch of chili. Here’s our roundup of 5 warm and satisfying chili recipes for your arsenal, including options for meat, chicken, and vegetarian recipes.
